We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: - Intro paragraph about role: "As a result of continued growth..." This is about the role. Could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then

with that paragraph. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties: "As a Senior Manager, You Will Support the performance of engagements by managing and delivering timely and accurate accounting advisory services, including consulting on technical accounting matters, implementation of new accounting standards, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and on-demand accounting support. Beyond directing the activities of more junior professionals, you will also perform specific engagement activities, participate in discussions with client leadership (CFO’s, Controllers, and Business Owners), and assist with drafting deliverables. Clients will engage us if they are: ..." Then bullet list of client scenarios. Then "You will also… Participate in all stages of various consulting engagements..." etc. So we can combine responsibilities into a

  • list. - Requirements: "What You Need For This Role" includes Bachelor's degree, 7+ years experience, sufficient experience with technical accounting, understanding of accounting processes and internal controls, interest in and experience with technical accounting matters, able to navigate ambiguous and complex client assignments, professional service network and interest in sales preferred, CPA and/or MBA preferred, proven experience scoping, presenting, and selling client engagements. Also "Additional, Preferred Qualifications" list many items. Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We need to decide sections: maybe Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can separate. - Skills: many bullet points under "Additional, Preferred Qualifications" include communication skills, adapt style, multi-task, analytical skills, deadline driven, organizational skills, team player, ability to travel up to 40%. Those could be Skills. - Benefits: "What You Can Expect From Us" includes shared values, opportunity to innovate, collaborative environment, competitive compensation, flexibility, opportunities to connect. Then "Benefits Information" paragraph about benefits. So we can have Benefits section. - Pay: "Pay Range Pay From: $132,800 to $212,400". So Pay section. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned besides hybrid flexibility, travel up to 40%. Could be schedule? Not explicit schedule like full-time, part-time. Might not include Schedule section because no explicit schedule info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal disclosures, copyright, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc. The posting includes some at end: "Cherry Bekaert provides equal employment opportunities..." etc. Remove that. Also remove "About Cherry Bekaert" paragraph? That's boilerplate about firm; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It's not specific to role but could be considered generic. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About Cherry Bekaert" is substantive about firm but not role-specific. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? However it's more about the firm. Could be considered boilerplate but it's descriptive. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Cherry Bekaert" is not those; it's firm description. Might keep. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We'll produce HTML:

    About the role

    As a result of continued growth within our CFO Advisory – Accounting Advisory practice, an opportunity has been created for a Senior Manager to join our national practice with hybrid flexibility (or possibly remote for the right resource) with travel for specific projects as needed. An ideal candidate for our firm displays expertise in accounting for both publicly-traded and privately-held companies, as well as a passion for superior client service, uncompromising integrity, and excellent project management abilities. Leadership skills are critical to success, as you will also be mentoring other team members and driving growth within our Advisory practice. We’re a fast-paced and dynamic environment so a strong sense of urgency will fit right in! As a Senior Manager, You Will Support the performance of engagements by managing and delivering timely and accurate accounting advisory services, including consulting on technical accounting matters, implementation of new accounting standards, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and on-demand accounting support. Beyond directing the activities of more junior professionals, you will also perform specific engagement activities, participate in discussions with client leadership (CFO’s, Controllers, and Business Owners), and assist with drafting deliverables. Clients will engage us if they are: Acquiring a Company. Require technical assistance (now or on occasion). Going public and need readiness for the IPO or SPAC. Accounting is slow and does not provide timely information. They have lost key resources in accounting and have upcoming deadlines. Require more formal accounting policies and procedures. Need to convert from cash to GAAP or from IFRS to GAAP. Have to adopt a new accounting standard. You will also… Participate in all stages of various consulting engagements and provide assistance with planning, field work, engagement wrap up and deliverable composition. Maintain a strong client focus by understanding the client’s business needs while developing productive working relationships with key personnel in order to accomplish engagement objectives Employ critical thinking skills to assess the flow of information through people, processes, and technology to eliminate manual operations, data validations, de-centralization, Excel analyses and other bottlenecks Leverage automation and digital processes to help clients realize significant performance improvements quickly Advise clients through accounting system selection and implementation by aligning key processes and engaging technology partners

    But that's huge; maybe better to split responsibilities into list. We can keep intro paragraph as About the role, then Responsibilities as list. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points: - Managing and delivering timely and accurate accounting advisory services, including consulting on technical accounting matters, implementation of new accounting standards, account reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and on-demand accounting support. - Directing the activities of more junior professionals. - Performing specific engagement activities. - Participating in discussions with client leadership (CFO’s, Controllers, and Business Owners). - Assisting with drafting deliverables. - Participating in all stages of various consulting engagements and providing assistance with planning, field work, engagement wrap up and deliverable composition. - Maintaining a strong client focus by understanding the client’s business needs while developing productive working relationships with key personnel to accomplish engagement objectives. - Employing critical thinking skills to assess the flow of information through people, processes, and technology to eliminate manual operations, data validations, de-centralization, Excel analyses and other bottlenecks. - Leveraging automation and digital processes to help clients realize significant performance improvements quickly. - Advising clients through accounting system selection and implementation by aligning key processes and engaging technology partners. Also client scenarios: maybe part of responsibilities? Could be separate but we can incorporate. We'll create
    • for each. Now Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Accounting with strong understanding of US GAAP required; 7+ years of experience within a public accounting firm or industry environment performing audit, accounting or consulting services required; Sufficient experience with technical accounting; Understanding of accounting processes and internal controls; Interest in and experience with technical accounting matters; Able to navigate ambiguous and complex client assignments; Professional service network and interest in sales preferred; CPA and/or MBA preferred; Proven experience scoping, presenting, and selling client engagements. We'll list as
        . Qualifications: maybe we treat "Additional, Preferred Qualifications" as Qualifications. List items: - Strong verbal and written communication skills - Ability to adapt style and messaging to effectively communicate with professionals at all levels both within the client organization and the firm - Ability to successfully multi-task while working independently and within a group environment - Superior analytical and diagnostic skills - Capable of working in a demanding, deadline driven environment with a focus on details and accuracy - Ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments successfully - Solid organizational skills especially ability to meet project deadlines with a focus on details and accuracy - Team player able to move to a role to effectively managing a team of professionals and delegating work assignments as needed - Ability to travel up to 40% But note travel up to 40% maybe schedule? But we can include in Qualifications or Skills. Since we have Skills section maybe we put communication, adapt style, multi-task, analytical, deadline, organizational, team player as Skills. Travel maybe not needed. We need to decide: we have Skills heading; we can put those skill bullets there. Qualifications maybe we keep as "Preferred Qualifications" but we already have many items there. Could combine. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section, and Skills separate. But we have headings for both; we can include both if they have content. Let's decide: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (mandatory + preferred) - Skills (communication, adapt style, multi-task, analytical, deadline, organizational, team player) - Benefits (what you can expect + benefits info) - Pay (range) We'll omit Schedule. Now ensure we don't include filler like "competitive compensation and a total rewards package that focuses on all aspects of your wellbeing" is okay. Now produce HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft. Check for any duplicated lines: we must avoid repeating same content. We'll write:
